Detailed itinerary
1
Embark on a journey to Taroudant, a charming small city nestled near Morocco’s southern coast. Once the capital of the Saadian dynasty, Taroudant is often referred to as a "mini Marrakech" thanks to its atmospheric medina, labyrinthine alleys, and impressive red-stone ramparts that surround the city.
Wander through the bustling souks, where artisans proudly display a vibrant array of handicrafts, including terracotta pottery, silverware, leather goods, handwoven carpets, and beaded Berber jewelry. The scent of spices, the sound of bartering, and the colorful stalls offer a truly immersive Moroccan experience.
Before returning to your hotel in Agadir, enjoy a delightful stop to witness one of Morocco’s most unusual sights: goats perched in argan trees. A fascinating and photogenic scene, these agile animals climb the gnarled branches in search of the nutritious argan fruit, offering a unique glimpse into rural Moroccan life.
